== Strategy 1 - Student Engagement through Awareness and Accessibility ==
<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">..Our first strategic priority focuses on improving student engagement using exisiting I&E facilities around the UTS campus, with consideration for the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial pressures this has placed on the university, and the growing importance of a virtual space for students to engage within.</span></span>
<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">Resulting from the Landscape Canvas, we learnt that there was an incredible amount of I&E resources available throughout UTS, however these were either not well known by students, or lacked an online presence and therefore were currently struggling with the pandemic forcing students online.Following on from this in our student interviews, we learnt that there was a threat of exclusivity amongst some I&E programs, including UTS Startups and the iHub.Many students were unaware of how to access the spaces and programs, and felt they were designed for specific students.</span></span>
<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">With an incredible space such as the iHub not reaching its full potential, this strategy focuses on increasing engagement in I&E spaces and programs around UTS by making them more accessible through higher awareness.The core iHub value I have focused on is "Inspiration - this is a place for ideas to be explored, encouraged and nurtured.."</span></span>
